@johngreenslade

have eluded this team for a long long time. I was a little worried about how the team would respond yesterday after dominating WVU.

To put it bluntly, they shit the bed. Have we completely abandoned the run game in the first half?

Currently lacking ammunition, but will find some soon and be back on the streets ready for a fight!

Homeboy might have just taken Mac Jones' job permanently

as we head into our next game, I’d just like to say NO ONE hates Texas Christian as much as I do, and I’d appreciate a little respect in that area. If you don’t believe me, meet me in the Wachovia parking lot.

Thank you and good night.

That's an old saying, which also happens to be true.

Those a week ago who were anticipating about a five-game winning streak and wondered who had to lose to who for Tech to make the Big 12 championship game are just as reactionary as those tonight who want to burn down the football program, bench half the team and fire half the staff.

For lack of a better description, when dealing with 18-22-year-olds, it happens. Tech is not the sole occupant of Rollercoaster Island.

How to explain Oklahoma State, just one week removed from beating Texas, who beat Baylor in Waco, and had a 14-point second-half lead on TCU in Fort Worth, getting absolutely blasted by 48 points to K-State?

How to explain Notre Dame, which lost at home to mighty Marshall and a bad Stanford team, and then goes on the road to beat a now 7-1 North Carolina team by 13 and today won by 17 points at No. 16 Syracuse? Or No. 10 Wake Forest losing by 27 to Louisville, where Scott Sattefield's seat has been hot? Or No. 25 South Carolina, which gets ranked for the first time, hosts a mediocre Missouri team and is beaten by 13 points?

Hell, for that matter, how do you explain Baylor, which had four turnovers and gave up 43 points and 500 yards to West Virginia, the same team Tech dominated, and then plays almost flawless tonight?

This is not to excuse Tech, which was outplayed and outcoached in just about every facet of the game, but damn, they got company. Tech is somewhere in the middle of what they showed against the Mountaineers and what they showed against Baylor.

This season is and was always going to be a work in progress. There were reasons this team was picked about eighth in the Big 12. It's also about setting a foundation through some thick and thin for future years.

First-year coaches in a perennial rebuild, like at Tech, aren't going to be magicians that first season. Sam Pittman won 3 games at Arkansas, Aranda won 2 games at Baylor, Bielema was 5-7 last year at Illinois, losing to Rutgers, UTSA and Virginia, and is now 7-1 and will be in the top 15 next week, and Chip Kelly won 10 games in three years and UCLA will likely be a top 10 team next week.

People are going to have to have the stomach for games like this. That doesn't mean you have to like it because I sure as hell didn't. But it's more the norm than not for a program still trying to climb out of the wilderness.

Chiefs lost to the Colts this season. Relatively speaking, Texas Tech ain't the Chiefs and Baylor sure ain't the Colts.

Red Raiders shooting themselves in the foot all night still were down only 1 score in the third quarter. Tough for anyone to overcome five INT, and clearly not possible for Texas Tech last night.

I'm on to the next game. Let's GOOOOOO!

Tonight

Getting drunk tonight? Not the best game, but we will learn from this and get better. Sorry @DallasRaider19 for calling you the biggest cuck on the site. Lets win the next one.

So much for having everything on our side tonight. Believe we look that bad and the office of wine was non-existent. Very disappointing.

EDIT: Voice-recognition feature on the iPhone apparently sucks, at least with crowd noise around. "The office of whine" is Offensive Line, and I believe I said "It's hard to believe we look that bad". Next time I'll just bite the bullet and type it out with my fat fingers!

Roberts was one of several talented prospects in the crowd tonight and picks up his 7th FBS offer.

I’m going Tharp here at 65/1.

Also put a little on “any other player” at 30/1, which gives me Cupp, Boyd, Teeter, Donovan + any nonlisted Baylor guy.

Take all the money you lost betting on Tech, bet it on Hawaii and figure out how to watch it. You will appreciate our team.

They're boring, bland, and nothing special. Flat Double T deserves absolutely none of the hype that it keeps getting for whatever reason around here.

Going scorched earth and don't give a shit.

Here. We. Go.

We absolutely destroyed WVU with the short passing game. I believe we have completed one pass to the side with the receivers. Gotta be the worst game Kittley has called.

Yall all knew we had a shit oline and playing a Baylor team that has one of the best dline in the big12 what did you expect? Playing any qb wouldn't have mattered tonight with that oline period. But seeing some of you throwing Mcguire/kittley under the bus for a loss in their first year. College football is a week to week sport get over it move on to TCU.

On that PI call in the end zone.

One of the worst calls I have ever seen.

very on point. can’t believe it didn’t work. we have best staff in country. can we blame this on biden? i hope so

Surprise, surprise, the OL is who we thought they were. If this group doesn’t improve year over year, JM will have a tough ride regardless who’s calling plays. It’s just crazy the fall from grace we’ve had with the position group. The group hasn’t been worth a damn since 2009 and we’ve had some quality guys roll through here.
